Gaiman is a cultural and demographic centre of the main region of Welsh settlement in Argentina, known in Welsh as ''Y Wladfa''. The town was founded in 1874 by settlers from Wales and the Central Chubut Railway arrived in 1908 connecting it to Trelew. Several hundred people in the region have conserved the use of the Welsh language alongside Spanish. The 'Eisteddfod de Chubut', a Welsh cultural festival, is held here every October, and Welsh teahouses (''tai te''; singular ''tŷ te'') are numerous.

There are a number of Welsh Protestant chapels, of which the largest is Capel Bethel. Just to the south of Gaiman is Bryn Gwyn, where a large number of fossils can be seen. The town's name originates in an indigenous Tehuelche place-name meaning "rocky point." ==Gallery== File:G-A-I-M-A-N.JPG|Gaiman entrance sign File:GaimanWelshSchool.JPG|Old Welsh school File:GaimanTunel.JPG|Old train tunnel entrance File:GaimanRC.JPG|Catholic church File:Una casa de té en Gaiman.jpg|Tŷ Nain Tea House and Museum File:Capel Bethel.jpg|Capel Bethel Protestant chapel 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gaiman, Chubut」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
